THE DEAD BURIED.
The Victim Of the Unionville
Tragedy in Her Grave.

was not reached by the hands of the
clock in the farm house of Mrs. Kan
die, who was so horribly murdered,
when the people from all over the
county commenced to cluster about
the home of the murdered woman.
All who had known the old lady had
come to pay their respects over the
remains of her who had been SO foully
dealt with, while hundreds of those
who were merely curious came to look
upon the features of the victim of the
tragedy. The body lay in a rosewood
coffin in one of the large rooms of the
house and in her hands was a bunch
of chrysanthemums and smilax, while
at her feet was tiny sheaf of wheat
which had been taken from the field
in which the woman was murdered.
Shortly after nine o'clock the body
was taken to the Friendship Church,
near Pittsgrove, and here in the old
Methodist Church the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Samuel Hud-
Rev. Samuel Ham, formerly of this
city, made feeling prayer, and Rev.
Mr.. Hudson gave a. short, but eloquent
sermon, and spoke of the awful trag-
edy. After another prayer every per-
son in the church took last look at
the face of the victim af the murder
er's cruel blows.
There were touching incidents at the
coffin's side, but the most stirring was
when Mrs. Hannah Christy, the
favorite niece of Mrs. HANDLE, threw
herself on it and shook with emotion.
She had just been led away when
Mrs. Dunham, the daughter, threw
back her veil and showed her first
deep sorrow. AS she kissed her dead
mother farewell she cried: ''Oh
mother! my mother!" and clung to tno
coffin, weeping aloud, when she was
tenderly taken away, and the coffin
was then carried to the churchyard.
AS the coffin was lowered into the
grave in the old churcyard the daugh-
ter and the niece sobbed bitterly. The
daughters grief grew louder as she
heard the sexton drop the earth into
the grave as she started on her jour
ney back to the old homestead, where
it was said, Lawyer Cochrane, of Elmer
was waiting to tell the woman that her
murdered mother had left will dis
posing of her little estate.
There are no new developments.
The gun belonging to Durham was
found in some corn stalks and this
seems to be the connecting links which
prove him the murderer. When Dunn
ham was told of the finding of the gun
he was almost overcome and paced
his cell continuously for hours. 1t is
expected that Matte Dunham, the
wife of the man charged with murder,
| will be arrested to-day, as an accom-
| plice to the crime. The detectives
have been watching her every move
ment since her return from Vineland,
and are satisfied that her Indifferent
manner of the whole affair is proof
that she knows more of the murder
than she will allow herself to tell

Senator Carter, of Burlington county,
paid Bridgeton a visit Monday. He
was much pleased with the city. During
his stay here he visited the c. o. Davis
stock farm in Hopewell Township,
and examined the splendid cattle bred
there. He says that he never saw
better stock.

Cutting Its Own Throat.
ssPolitics Of IAbor.n

InOmP1OnS rUutlW " AApOr.'
In the growing disparity oi
numbers between capitalists, and
wage-workers lies the hope Of a
just and satisfactory solution Of
the labor problem. Capitalism is
cutting its own throat very fast,
By killing off small competitors,
and continually narrowing the cir
Gle of the employers of labor and
the accumulators of wealth, it
weakens immensely its powers Of
resistance to the popular demand
for justice. The process will GO
on and on until some day in the
not distant future the representa-
tives of the toiling masses may
quietly walk into the Offices Of the
few hundred capitalists aud say;
Gentlemen, the people have de
cided to dispense with you. We
have concluded that you have en-
crossed the fruits of our labor
long enough. Henceforth we
shall conduct the business our
selves, and for our own benefit"

CLEVELAND AND PowDERLY.

Cleveland in his message de-
clares in favor of free trade. He
might have done many worse
things. Protection" protects on
ly the pro6t-mongering manufac-
turer while the laborer is left
unprotected against the hungry
hordes of Europe who are free of
duty" on landing here.
The president has evididently
been reading some of Mr.. Pow
derly's platitudinous productions.
He is every bit as radical on the
labor question as the man with an
order. This sounds very much
like an extract from one of the e.
m. WIS speeches:
Labor is honorable in the eyes
of every American citizen, and
lies at the foundation of our de-
velopments. 1t is entitled, with
out regard or hypocrisy, to the ut
most regard. The standard of
our laborers' lives should not be
marred by that of another country
less favored, and they are entitled
to their full share of our advan-
tages."
1t would seem that the man in
the white house wants a running
mate for the next heat who can
carry the labor vote" Barkis
Powderly is not only willing but
anxious.

AN UNPROFITABLE SUBJECT.

While believing that space de-
voted to pickering over the exact
and proper classification of any
man or men who are or have been
honestly engaged in the reform
movement is lily devoted. l must
say that the assertion made by the
editor of the ALa,m. that this
paper has "shrieked" about "these
terrible doctrin .s" of the men who
we're sacrificed in Chicago. is di-
rect misstatement of facts.
This paper has ''shrieked" the
best it knew to prevent the MUIR
der of those men and never cared
one jot what they were called SO
long as it knew they had been en-
gagged in the same work it is en-
gagged in.
AS far as the true classification
of those men is concerned must
confess that. after having read the

1T is YOUR DUTY.

The murder done at Chicago on
November II, made orphans of a
number of small children. They
were made such because their
fathers battled bravely for yours
and your children's rights. Do
you appreciate the sacrifice these
men nader II you do then let
your appreciation manifest itself
by working some tangible results.
If you are miner working "up
the gulch' and are making calcula-
tions to have a big time Christ
mas when you come down to
camp-don't do it. Send the
price of the big time to the Or
phans of the men who were killed
for your sake. Next day after
Christmas your conscience will
feel easier, your heart lighter, and
your head will be smaller than if
you had lived like a capitalist for
a few short hours.
If you are shop-worker take
pains to tell your shop-mates that
the wind blows cold from off Lake
Michigan and that those poor or
|phans are not any too well clad;
that their Christmas dinner may
be a scant one. State the case
plainly to your fell low-workers and
if their hearts are not made of
sole-leather you can raise a few
dollars for the immediate wants
of those children.
If you are-well, a man with a
heart in you, youwill do something
in the way of providing in some
measure for the orphans who
should be to every toiler in this
land as dear as his own kitli and
kin.
If you feel that you have any
interest in the struggle for human
ity and can appreciate the fact
that the men who died in Chicago
we're slaughtered for your sake,
then help keep the wolf from the
door of their children.

GOOD!

In Wisconsin the women suf-
fragists have won victory. Three
years ago bill was passed in the
state senate granting the right to
women to. Vote "at all elections
pertaining to school matters" /"
The house ratified it. Under the
law the women suffragists claimed
the right to vote for mayors, au-
ditors, treasurers and tax col
lectors and in fact all local Offices
inasmuch as their election per
tanned to school matters" The
boodlers and politicians howled
against allowing the women the
privilege of voting and at the elec
tion last spring the inspectors re-
fused to receive the votes of the
women.
"The president of the State Suf-
frage Association" says the San
Francisco Examiner, brought suit
for damages against one of the re-
fractory inspectors, and the other
day one of the ablest judges in
Wisconsin decided the case in her
favor. The decision sustains
every claim the reforlners have
advanced. Until it is reversed the
sexes, in all local elections
throughout the state, will stand on
an equality"
Good! Even though the press
prostitutes, politicians, preachers
and parasites succeed in having
the law repealed it will be a splen-
did precedent and the suffragists
will gain many warm friends if
the law is killed to suit the cor
ruptionists who may we'll fear the
day when the ballot is allowed the
women of this land, for when the
mothers lose their false modesty
regarding what is womanly and
come to believe and understand
that they have an interest in the
welfare of their country. and guard
that interest at the ballot box,
then will great move be made
towards rescuing politics from the
control of the gang of boodlers
whose corrupting influence has
made the ballot box a sinking
shamble.

The Inevitable "Schools."

Toronto Labor Reformer.
Annie Besant contributes a
thoughtful article on Socialism as
a factor in politics. She points
out that the tendency among Eng
glish Socialists is becoming more
and more pronounced in the direc-
ton of active political effort.
There are in England, as every
where else where Socialism has
become a living issue, two schools
of Socialists, the one believing in
fearlessly proclaiming the truths
they feel, and in trusting to the
power of uttered truth to win the
people to its side; the other school
believing in works as well as
words. Not only would they hold
up to the toiling. struggling mass

ENQUIRER:
AT recent meeting of stock
holders in the paper it was decided
best to issue the following plain
statement of facts in connection
with the financial standing of the
ENQUIRER:
In the beginning it is we'll to
say that this is not to be con-
strued as an "aRpea" for aid. 1t
is desired by the undersigned that
those real, true and eatnest friends
and co-workers in the Cause
which this paper has always ad-
vocated and fought for be given
an insight into the affairs and
necessities of the paper to the
end that no friend who might be
willing to make the sacrifice of
a dollar to see the paper live be
denied that opportunity. This
statement is made so that no
one may be able to say, 81
would have helped the ENQUIRER
to continue had known that
help was needed"

with debts contracted during the
past year. The present income
merely pays running expenses.
